【Date】September 2 (Wed) – 3 (Thu), 2026

【Venue】National Institute of Genetics (Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture)​​

​

【Overview】

Large-scale neural activity recording is now being conducted in many neuroscience laboratories. However, achieving an understanding of brain function from these large-scale datasets requires overcoming numerous technical challenges related to data acquisition and processing. Researchers must then tackle problems that remain unsolved, such as extracting meaningful information from high-dimensional time-series data and relating time-series neural activity to network structures.

​

To address these challenges, we are organizing this workshop with the goal of bringing together researchers involved in large-scale brain activity measurement to:

​

1)Reexamine the fundamental principles of data acquisition and data processing.
2)Gain new ideas and perspectives from the experimental systems and analytical approaches of other researchers.

​

Through these activities, we aim to significantly advance the research of all participants.

​

Specifically, we will invite researchers who are conducting cutting-edge brain activity measurements and analyses across a variety of experimental systems, as well as those developing advanced theoretical approaches to brain function analysis. In addition, a poster session will be held to facilitate practical, on-the-ground information exchange among graduate students and early-career researchers.

​

Following the positive reception of this workshop at the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in 2024, this year's meeting will be hosted by the National Institute of Genetics.
